Once you heat the liners and mold them you'll settle further back into the heel pocket and you'll have more toe room. You can also mold them with a thick pair of socks on and that'll give you some extra room. Don't fret that they're not the right size...I'm an 11/11.5 street show and I ski in a 27 shell...can hike in them and spend the whole day in them with no problems. The liner can be worked on to create more wiggle room in the toes and the shells can be stretched if necessary....its much easier to make a boot that's a little too tight roomier where you need it than it is to make a boot that is too big fit better. I'm a former Cped, spent dozens of years doing custom boot work, have molded plenty of liners in my day from thermoflex to intuition, foam, etc...it sounds like you've got the right size, they just need to be molded. I'm only 5 min from you...before you send them back or spend any more $$, if you want, send me a pm, we can have a beer and check them out.
Nice offer. DHS I think you need to buy the man that beer. :beer:
